German Tax Refunds for Married People

married people german tax refunds icon

Are you married and want to claim a German tax refund? The tax rates in Germany for married or jointly assessed couples are significantly lower than the rates for single tax payers, so its worth checking if you’re able to make a joint application with your spouse.

Employees in Germany can pay up to 42.5% income tax on their earnings. In most cases, you can claim back a significant amount of this.

The refund amount is likely to be higher if you’re married and filing jointly due to a higher tax-free allowance for married people.

What’s more, your spouse doesn’t even have to have travelled to Germany with you. If you’re an EU or EEA resident and your spouse stayed at home when you were working in Germany, you can still apply jointly.

We work with a lot of people who didn’t initially inform the German Tax Office that they were married and were subsequently taxed incorrectly. The average tax refund we get for our married and jointly assessed German tax clients is €1950. Talk to us today about how we can help.

The average German Tax Refund for a Married or Jointly Assessed Couple is €1950

Married or jointly assessed couples in Germany can avail of a preferential tax rate which means that they may get back a bigger German tax refund. We will check your circumstances to see if you are eligible to file a joint German tax refund. The average German tax refund for married couples is €1950 so it’s worth finding out what you’re owed.

    I was sceptical but... I really have to say I was due to the critical feedbacks very sceptical. But once I got in touch with Taxback.com I felt in good hands. So, I decided to try it. Because it was either I will lodge my tax via Taxback.com or no tax refund at all. (Cause I tried to lodge my taxes many times by my own and failed every time.) So, I didn't really had anything to loose. The communication between the responsible worker and me was very easy and fast. I got prompt replys to my questions. About my refund, I guess I took around 6 weeks which I found very fast! When for me the tax lodging was done I got one year later an email about my superannuation. They took care of it as well! It only took very long because of the slow working style of the government?! In fact it really made me feel I did the right choice by choosing Taxback.com. If the fees are too high or not is discussible. I paid not a high amount - fee was normal. Plus in my case it was having no refund or getting a refund. Thanks to Zhivko, Silvena, Stanislav, and Silvia who took good care of me!
